Purple Peaker -- BEGINNER


Purple Peaker frequency booster


VERIFIED


tonepad_purplepeaker.pdf 76.8 KB-- Pico Morado, Rev.1.Feb.26.2005


Purple Peaker US$ 5.00


Another of Dan Armstrong's boxes.

The purple peaker can add two peaks in the frequency response, one boosting the low frequencies and the other in the high frequencies.

The Low peak is at 400Hz giving a nice fat bottom. The High peak is at 5.3KHz giving presence and sparkle to the tone.

Use SPST switches for each (LOW/HIGH) peak and be able to switch on either one of them or both. It's like having 3 ADDITIONAL different guitars!!

The unit gives a slight boost compared to bypass, so a volume control at the output is also useful (100k-Log).

Visit homewrecker's Purple Peaker page for more info.
